We expect that it'll still take a couple of years before the first shows are broadcasted in UHD. There's increasingly more 4K content on Netflix and YouTube, but for Netflix you'll need a Premium subscription to access the 4K content.
Whether you should choose a 4K television depends on several factors. You should ask yourself whether you're going to watch UHD images often. The screen size and the distance between you and the television are also important. The bigger your television or the closer you sit to the screen, the more use you can make of 4K.

But now that "4K" has gained traction as a term used to describe TVs and content, "2K" is becoming increasingly common as shorthand for the p resolution used by most smaller and older HDTVs, as well as Blu-ray.
Remember how we talked about digital cinema resolutions only specifying the horizontal resolution? Well TVs, on the other hand, have historically used the vertical to describe resolution going back to the glass tube days.
So p is the vertical resolution. Nearly all HDTVs have an aspect ratio of 1. This is another source of confusion, since decades of TV discussions have talked about vertical resolutions, and then all of a sudden we're talking about "4K TVs," which refers to the horizontal resolution.
Don't blame me, it wasn't my idea. Which is why p is not "1K. That said, most people don't call p 2K; they call it p or Full HD. By the way, i is the same resolution as p , but no modern TV is i.
Roughly half the number of pixels of p. It's rare to find a TV that's p anymore. This goes back to the initial HD transition at the turn of the century. And if you're wondering why your TV doesn't say "p" on those channels, check this out.
In the computer world they use an incomprehensible and shockingly un-user-friendly jumble of letters to describe resolution. Well, not "shockingly" since these are computers. Look, I'm a computer guy, building my own PCs since the early '90s, and even I can't tell you what half these letters mean. I can understand that initially they were implemented to make things easier, but we've got so many resolutions and combinations that now they're just annoying.
The rest, you can dive into and print yourself a cheat sheet from this. Fortunately, the only time most of you will come across this letter goulash is if you're looking for a cheap data projector or a computer monitor. There are also computer monitors that have unique resolutions like 5K 5,x2, or ultra-widescreen aspect ratios with crazy resolutions like 3,x1, There are so many variations we couldn't hope to cover them all.
Someday you might have an 8K or even 10K TV , but that's a l-o-o-o-o-ng way away. YouTube allows for files up to p in resolution. Okay, feel better about knowing a bit more about video resolutions? Because pretty soon, 6K and 8K are coming down the pipeline and promise to muddy these waters even more. Thing is, right now the majority of the world delivers in p.
Even folks who deliver in p often shoot in 4K, either to future-proof their footage or to be able to pan and zoom around it. Bottom line: If you can shoot in 4K, do it.
Thanks for simplifying display resolution. What I see is that x HD is very popular and it is in high demand today. This is such a good resource. Such as on YouTube for example. As a foremost stills studio, we do get enquiries on video and the although there is similarities, video is definitely different! Great article. You should fix your screenshots though. Unless this resolution has something to do with anamorphic?
The cinema 4K standard is x Can anyone tell me what value the full aspect has? The trouble is that the files are huge, slow to edit, and take forever to upload to YouTube. Add that most people look at the results on much less than 4K screens. As an amateur videographer I find p to be more practical. Hey Sohail. Nice article! So you first have to adjust for the pixel aspect ratio before calculating the image aspect ratio.
